Charlottesville VA Modular Home Builder For Your Home Needs

By Diane Baker


If you are in the market for a home, you may have trouble finding exactly what you want. Perhaps you love the size of a certain one you found, but the location leaves something to be desired. Or maybe the location is actually perfect for you and your family, but there are not enough bedrooms or bathrooms to suit your needs. A Charlottesville VA modular home builder can help you construct the house of your dreams in less time.

Before you jump in, it's important to know just what a modular house is. It is a house that is built in pieces in a remote location, then the pieces are delivered to your home site via a flatbed truck. The pieces are then constructed together using wood, nails, glue and other materials so it becomes a complete house that is usually indistinguishable from traditionally built ones.

Quite a number of people hear the modular name and mistakenly assume that you are talking about mobile homes. The truth is, the two could not be more different. A mobile home is generally on wheels, allowing you to move it via driving or towing as often as you wish. Modulars are built on a permanent foundation and cannot be driven or towed away.

There are lots of advantages to building this way instead of using traditional methods. First of all, when the modules are being constructed, it is done indoors, so weather is never an issue. You don't have to wait till spring or until the rainy season has passed to get started. It takes less time to do, plus there is less waste, which makes it better for the environment and safer for your family. You can even get solar and other green systems installed with the house.

If this sounds like it's for you, then you must either have a plot of land or buy one where the home will be placed once finished. It can even be way out in the country where builders might not normally go. Then you choose a builder and have them come out to survey the land to see where the foundation will go and make sure it is suitable for the build.

Once the land and foundation are squared away, you can finally choose which modular home you are going to build. On the Internet, there are plenty of pictures of different layouts that you can choose from, and you can even customize things like paint colors in most cases. Ask your builder if there is a model or display home nearby that you can see in person to get a real feel for the finished product.

Once you order, you will be given a delivery date. Once the modules are delivered, building can commence. Since most of the work is already done, this is generally a short process that allows you to move in faster than with a traditional building.

In addition to all these great features, you can use materials of your choosing during the build, including earth friendly ones that are safer for your family. Speaking of which, if your family grows, you can add a module onto the house to make it bigger, rather than having to move to or construct a larger house. This is so much easier, and ensure your house stays your home forever.
